    Progress Thread 7 Year Build Back In Progress!

    500 RWHP... What's the best setup without the need to shim too much or shave anything down. I also have the Wilwood big brake kit that needs to fit... I'm going up to 31 spline as the stock rear bearings are SHOT and I figure replace it all while it's apart. Any ideas on what fits the best...

    Front Control Arm Ball Joints Replacement

    So, I guess if there isn't any comparable replacement to the front control arms, I should go with coil-overs with the MM setup?!

    Front Control Arm Ball Joints Replacement

    So, anyone else know of any good replacement front control arms since the only OEM replacement isn't available anymore? I'm hesitant to get the tubular ones with the spring cups due to potential strength loss, but I'm open to any suggestions out there.

    Front Control Arm Ball Joints Replacement

    Woops.. Just did the part number research and we are talking about the same control arm... CRAP... I was going to order a pair of those today. Is there any other GOOD quality control arms without having to convert to coil-overs out there?

    What about the Cobra 2003 control arms? Apparently they are an upgrade to what I have?

    Front Control Arm Ball Joints Replacement

    I'm going to order a set of Moog ball joints. Is there any tricks I should know about the install? Or is it pretty straight forward?

    Rear Control arm bushing replacement

    Is this a difficult job for a rookie mechanic without a lift? Or should I pay a mechanic to replace them. If I pay a mechanic, how much would the average charge be? I'm replacing both upper and lower control arm bushings on my MAC control arms. I have all the parts, but have no idea...

    So, who else blew apart all of their bushings on MAC upper / lower control arms

    I did grease them when I installed them 4 years ago, but the car sat in the garage for almost 2 years. I think they wound up dry rotting. Then I finished them off with a hard run at the track on drag radials. So, would you think if I kept them nicely greased, I could avoid destroying another...

    So, who else blew apart all of their bushings on MAC upper / lower control arms

    I just ordered all new bushings for both upper and lower control arms. When I finally was able to get the car in the air, one lower control arm bushing was totally destroyed, another one cut entirely in half and all others on their way out. That caused a really wierd feeling rear-steer and...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    Well, I just ordered the replacement bushings directly from Mac today. Cost me $60. I just don't have the cash to spend on a better product that can handle my horsepower right now. I'll, unwillingly, just have to baby the car a bit and keep the street tires on it until I can upgrade. After...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    Shirolex... That's pretty bad-ass. Nice... I have the pro-kit springs and like that stance and rarely take it to the track and never put slicks on it. I'm designing more of a show car look. So, I'll go with the non-adjustables XD. Thanks for the info!!

    That has to be some kind of typo...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    What is your main purpose for the adjustable control arms. I'm just trying to find the value in getting those. That is almost the exact setup that I am going to buy once I get the cash.

    always a problem.

    YOOO... I'm baaackkk... Long time no hear! Looks like you've really added to the car since I last saw you. congrats on that and welcome to the fight to keep the stang alive! I would DEMAND to have a full replacement blower since it's the second time seal failure. I did that with my SQ Trim...

    Atomic Performance?

    It's been a while since I dusted off the Stang. It's been about 2 years and just realized I need PARTS! I discovered Atomic Performance online. Has anyone used these guys? How are they?

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    It's what you call rear-wheel torque steer. That's what you get when you break stuff... It's the wierdest feeling EVER when the rear of the car steers and your car starts to "crab walk".... I've got all kinds of terms you never hear of...
